I don't agree with the idea of seeking wealth and killing people.
I am a poor person, what can uncle do to me?
But what would happen if neither party lied to me?
Seeing the grim look on my face, Zhang Xing was cheerful. He smiled and patted my shoulder and said, "Damn! Brother, there is no need to look worried. Really, I dare to guarantee you that you will definitely be able to see me."
Watch the sun tomorrow!"
But now that the two of us are about to talk to each other, I'm still a little worried.
After all, this is a matter related to my life, and there is no room for sloppiness.
Seeing my coy behavior, the two of them didn't try to persuade me any further.
"How about we brothers stuff it back into the coffin for you? And help you repair the damage to the coffin by the way?" Sun Biao suggested.
"Okay." I thought, this is a solution at least.
So, we returned to the hole in the coffin.
The hole is small and easy to pull out, but difficult to insert.
After the two of them discussed for a while, they used tools to lift two more coffin boards and then helped me climb back into the coffin.
Then, they used tools to help me nail the damaged boards back together.
After all this was done, I remembered that the lantern was still outside.
So, I shouted through the coffin board: "Hey! I haven't got my lantern back yet!"
"Brother Chen Xian, this lantern is a harmful thing. We brothers will keep it for you first. If we meet again in the future, I will return it to you." Zhang Xing's voice came.
"You can lie peacefully in the coffin for one night now. I guarantee you will be able to see the sun tomorrow!"
After saying that, the two people set off and left, the sound of their footsteps getting farther and farther away until they disappeared.
Without the obstruction of Fei Zheng, I guessed that they should have gone back to the tomb to get their things.
After struggling underground for a long time, and now back in the coffin, my mood is extremely complicated.
Judging from the decisiveness with which they left, I even had some doubts. Did they deliberately lie to me just to take away my lantern?
However, these are all my random guesses. After all, what the two of them said does make some sense.
In the second half of the night, no other strange things happened. I lay in the coffin in a daze, and I didn't even know when I fell asleep.
Until I was asleep, I vaguely heard the sound of the coffin lid being pried open.
I opened my eyes, a dazzling ray of sunlight shone down, and the coffin lid was lifted.
I hurriedly closed my eyes again, and my uncle's faint voice came to my ears: "How did you sleep last night?"
Hearing this voice, I felt relieved. After my eyes adjusted to the surrounding light, I opened my eyes and saw my uncle squatting next to the coffin and looking at me, but his face was a little solemn.
I immediately had a premonition that something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong, uncle?"
Uncle Master frowned, raised his chin and asked me, "Where is the lantern?"
I was speechless for a moment, trying to find an excuse to excuse myself.
"Lost...lost it."
"How could it be lost in the coffin? Ahem..." Uncle Master asked, "Also, why is this coffin broken?"
Seeing that I didn't speak for a long time, Uncle Li's voice turned cold: "Chen Xian, now that the matter has come to this, do you still plan to keep hiding it? You don't really think that you have been saved, do you?"
I raised my head with a surprised look on my face: "Isn't it already?"
"But isn't it already bright today? The fact that the bad luck didn't come proves that I have..."
"Who told you that the bad luck didn't come? Ahem..." Uncle Master interrupted me and raised his left hand.
I saw that under the palm of his left hand, there was a thin black line running across the entire arm.
I asked my uncle what it was, and his uncle replied: "This is the promise I made for you to the underworld."
"Promise?" I looked confused, and with the help of my uncle, I crawled back to the shore from the coffin.
Then, my uncle took out a translucent jade pendant from his pocket and handed it to me.
"At the cost of my own life, I bought a year of Yang life for you from Yin Chao, ahem..."
"This jade pendant is called Yin De Jade. You need to accumulate Yin De within one year to fill it up."
"If you don't do it, you and I will die together in one year!"
I took the jade pendant and felt a biting coldness in my hand!
I thought of what the fat and thin duo said to me last night.
Looking at my uncle, I asked: "Uncle, can I ask you a question?"
Unexpectedly, the uncle didn't answer and asked instead: "You haven't answered my question yet, ahem...where did the lantern go?"
Now that the matter has come to this, I will simply confess what happened last night when I dealt with Fei Zhan in the Princess's Tomb.
After hearing this, Uncle Master frowned even more tightly: "So, the lantern was picked up by those two gophers?"
"Yes!" I nodded, but I did not tell him the speculation that the two of them had planned to seek wealth and murder.
Instead, I used my own sudden discovery as an excuse to ask my uncle: "Uncle, what those two rats said last night made me a little confused."
"They say that zombies are intolerable and will not be tolerated. This is the same as mine."
"Since Yin Cha doesn't care about the life and death of zombies, why are they so concerned about my affairs?"
Uncle Master looked at me, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said, "Son, do you think Uncle Master is lying to you?"
I waved my hands hurriedly: "No, uncle, I just think it's a little strange."
The uncle smiled and said: "Chen Xian, you have to remember that you were picked up by Li Jiangshui, and your life was given by Li Jiangshui!"
"And I am Li Jiangshui's best brother. Although I have never appeared in the past eighteen years, you must know that I have watched you grow up."
"I have no reason to harm you. Besides, if I want to harm you, I don't have to use such troublesome methods. Do you understand?"
I lowered my head, feeling ashamed. My uncle patted my shoulder and comforted me: "It's okay, cough..."
"I can understand that you have doubts. Let me tell you why Yinsha doesn't care about zombies but wants to care about you."
"Because you are human! But zombies are not, they are just a group of brainless beasts."
"Although you have no soul, as long as you are a human being, you will be recorded by the City God. Naturally, you will be under the jurisdiction of the underworld. Remember?"
"Yes!" I nodded heavily and tightened the Yin Deyu in my hand.
At this time, Uncle Master changed the topic and said coldly: "After listening to your words, I finally understand why this second burial failed, ahem..."
Uncle Master stood up, looked at the vast mountains in the distance and said: "The human skin lantern corpse oil fire is indeed harmful to people, but what I used this time is to fight poison with poison. As a result, the lantern was destroyed by two people."
A ground mouse was taken away."
"Think about it for yourself, if this most critical link is missing, can things... still be possible?"
